Police are only interested in speeding road users and insults on facebook these days it seems.

I have to say its probably just as dangerous as riding on the road or racetrack.

That looks like a lot of fun !!!! I love off road bikes but they don't like me so much they try to throw me off and brake bones. However i would be well up for some of that.

... the raven for about 8:30 oops don't think Google maps had taken into account a clear motorway and how easy the blackbird is to ride fast on open roads. At the raven meet a nice bloke on an r1 (dale) Soon after blade , bratty and daytonandy turned up breakfast down and off we shot to Newtown to ...

One of the instructors told us the best conditions are when its rained a few days before but is dry on the day. That gives some mud and plenty of grip. We had grip, especially off the compacted surfaces, and loads of dust but he said if it had rained on the surfaces we had it would have been like ri...

I see what you mean about the dust.

I'm not too sure I would want any bike, let alone one that size bouncing off me.

Wish I could ride like this:

I especially enjoyed the first two sessions. By the last session i was getting tired and made a few mistakes and the track was a bit crowded. Once the track cleared due a a brief stoppage for a faller, i found some of my earlier mojo again. :) Learned plenty of new things. When you get both wheels o...

Was very tempted to do that myself and wish I had now looks bloody awesome.

Glad you had a good day Duke and photos ate great looks like you were really on it.

Yes they did. All I had to do was book, pay £25 and turn up.

I would guess we must have used up £15 each in fuel alone.

That looks brilliant. I'd definitely be up for trying that. Duke did they supply all the gear, boots, helmet etc?

That looks fantastic, especially for £25.

Look at his smile

Not surprised. I'd be up for it.

I will post up about next year's event if and when i hear about it.

It sold out within a couple of hours apparently.

Sounds good for 25quid
